    Ahhh, point 6 always makes me laugh. They have missed out the sub-heading "But we can be reaaaaaally flexible about what's evil".

        Of course, these are not evil: 1. Scanning personal emails for targeted ads 2. Hosting copyrighted books for public viewing 3. Sharing personal information with other agencies 4. Using pictures in ads without the user's consent 5. Using an 'op-out' policy instead of an 'opt-in' policy for all the frustrating and information stealing experiments. 6. Bragging about all these and calling yourself a company with a difference.

            Indeed and point 8 is true too unless it is being compliant with regimes with horrific human rights abuse...

                Everyone knows of the Three Wise Monkeys, Speak No Evil, See No Evil, Hear No Evil. But in fact they are only 3 of the 4 wise monkeys. The fourth wise monkey is Do No Evil. Whereas the first three sit with their hands over their Mouth, Eyes and Ears respectively, the fourth, Do No Evil, holds his hands over his c*ck! Picture Here[^] So Google is the Fourth Wise Monkey. It sits there all day playing with itself. Mind you, that is apparently what the internet is for.

                        There is a reverse argument for that of course. There are many publications with copyrights for which it is basically impossible to track down who owns the rights or to some extent even if the rights are still valid. That means that many smaller publications will literally be lost to time because the remaining copies will eventually be destroyed and lost forever.
